The shape of the lips is considered one of the most well-known criteria for assessing the age of a person. Not only experts in the field of aesthetics of appearance, but also people far from medicine, when they first meet a person, automatically estimate his age by looking at his lips – their shape, volume, fullness, color, contour, the presence of wrinkles around the mouth.
In programs for the complex correction of age-related changes in the face, the beautician necessarily provides for work with the shape of the lips, since successful results make it possible to demonstrate to the patient a rapid rejuvenation of the appearance. How to ensure that the results of lip correction are successful, tell estet-portal.com.
We use algebra: how to correctly calculate the optimal shape of the lips
For an initial assessment of the shape of the lips, which allows choosing the optimal correction tactics, the well-known proportion of the "golden section" is used: the height of the upper and lower lips should be related as 1: 1.6. However, before taking this criterion as a basis, it is better to ask the patient to show her photographs of 10-15 years ago and clarify her individual features of facial features.
Sometimes, having achieved the ideal shape of the lips, you can bring dissonance into the overall appearance, destroying the individual charm of some asymmetry of features. Among other mathematical criteria for the shape of the lips, the following should be taken into account:
- to profile – we draw a line between the tip of the nose and the protruding part of the chin, there should be a distance of 4 mm from it to the upper lip, to the lower – 2mm;
- full face – we draw two vertical lines down through the middle of the pupils, the commissures of the lips should not go beyond these lines.
In addition to the shape of the lips, it is necessary to take into account the drooping of their corners, take into account the presence of a gum smile and correct these shortcomings too.
Adding Harmony: Successful Injection Tactics for Lip Shaping
Today, injection correction of the shape of the lips has become more delicate and is most often designed not to emphasize, but to return the lips to the shape that the patient had a few years ago.
A delicate approach to lip shape correction allows you to recreate a natural result and not change the patient's appearance, but refresh his facial features, make them "like in youth".
- Injection correction makes it possible to restore the volume lost with age, to focus on certain areas of them. In this way, the following results can be achieved:
- improve side profile;
- restore the proportions of the upper and lower lips;
- adjust mouth length.
If you focus the filler on the central part of the lips, the long mouth will visually look shorter. By distributing the filler evenly in the central and lateral parts of the lips, you can visually lengthen them.
When introducing a hyaluronic filler into the deep layers of the dermis along the border that runs between the dry and wet parts of the red border, you can get a natural eversion of the lower lip. It will give the desired effect of fullness, correct proportions, provide the desired protrusion of the lower lip in relation to the upper one. If the eversion needs to be strengthened, the filler is injected directly into the edge of the red border of the lips. Introducing the filler to obtain the desired eversion must be done very carefully and little by little, so as not to get a "duck's beak".
In older patients, the introduction of a filler along the edge of the red border allows solving an additional problem – correct vertical purse-string wrinkles. We introduce a loose filler with a linear-retrograde-fan technique vertically upwards from the red border. If there are not many wrinkles and they are extensible, then the effect is very successful.
For today's popular "Parisian lips" effect, - soft O-shaped with a slightly raised upper lip, you need to enter the hyaluronic filler from the side of the white roller, directing the needle at an angle of 45 degrees. The drug is laid out on the reverse stroke of the needle parallel to the surface of the skin. Distance between injections – 2-3 mm.
An important stage in the correction of the shape of the lips is the lifting of their corners. From the edge of the lower lip, retreat 5 mm towards the midline and insert the needle parallel to the skin surface. Then they bend around the corner and complete the process 5 mm laterally along the upper lip. On the reverse stroke of the needle, the filler is laid out very slowly. To correct the corners of the mouth, in some cases, the use of botulinum toxin preparations can give a good effect, which will weaken the contraction of the muscles that lower the corners of the lips.
